how Iranian APT Group Obtained U.S Voter Registration Data

The CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) has recently released a joint cybersecurity advisory on comprehensive, advanced persistent threat (APT) activity along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The FBI has shared indicators of compromise (IOCs), which are linked with the Iranian state-sponsored cybercrime group that targeted the democratic voters. The report also claimed that this threat actor are also responsible for voter intimidation emails.

However, the U.S. Govt. has claimed that Iran has been sending emails to U.S. voters to frighten them at the polls. That’s why the U.S. issued a warning on Wednesday after voters in Alaska, Arizona, and Florida disclosed that they are also receiving emails with the subject line “Vote Trump or Else.”
